Previewing Saturday's RBS 6 Nations clash with France, Ireland prop Tom Court said: "The intensity was up today. We're back in the right frame of mind and really looking to make up for last weekend. We've got the game-plan and structures set, it's just really about execution and intensity."

If we can bring that level of attack by maybe adding another 5% on top of it then we'll ask a lot of questions of the French defence."
